Question Need help identifying wheel

Does anyone recognize the wheel on the WRX in the picture below?



The reason I ask is because I have a WRX ordered and have been hearing lately that the brakes on the North American version are likely to be crap. This started me searching for an upgrade path and I found this German company called Mov´it which sells kits, built around Porsche brakes, specificly designed for the Impreza. The brakes in the picture above are the ones Porsche uses on their 993 GT2. These brakes are huge and not just any wheel will work with them. Ergo my question about who makes this wheel, which obviously does work.

BTW, Mov´it's U.S. distributer offers a 10% discount on group orders of 5 or more kits. Even at 10% off, they're still pricey (like just about anything involving Porsche).

Is it just me, or do those look like the same wheels on the new US-spec WRX?

Well, now that I gave the wheels on the WRX a second look, they're not the same as the ones with the huge brakes.
